history

1928–2019: Club Atlético Bragantino

Pennant in memory of the 1965 state runner-up

The CA Bragantino was founded on January 8, 1928 by former members of the Bragança Futebol Clube . The actual founding took place on June 22nd of the previous year, when José de Assis Gonçalves Junior registered the association, which was gazetted in Diário Oficial No. 133 of July 26th. The founding documents were notarized on June 30th. On January 8, 1928, the Presidium officially met for the first time and Assis jr. was confirmed as president. At the general meeting of July 31, 1930, January 8, 1928 was determined as the date of foundation.

The club first took part in the second division of the São Paulo state championship in 1949, which also meant entering professional football. After 16 years, Bragantino finally managed to rise to the top division of Campeonato Paulista in 1965. However, Bragantino immediately dismounted. 1989 Bragantino was again first class at the state level when the club won the championship title in the second division under the later national coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo .

In 1990 Bragantino won the São Paulo State Championship, the only title so far in the competition. In the final , which went down in the football history of São Paulo as the final caipira , the “hillbilly finale ”, the players from the city of 130,000 retained the upper hand against Grêmio Esportivo Novorizontino from Novo Horizonte, which only had 30,000 people . The two final games each ended 1: 1, but Bragantino got the title because the team was more successful throughout the tournament.

In the national first division, the team established itself quickly and in the second year in Série A Bragantino was runner-up under another later national coach, Carlos Alberto Parreira . In the two finals they lost to their big neighbor, São Paulo FC with a single goal. But Bragantino was qualified for the Copa Conmebol , which competed in 1992 and 1993 and most recently in 1996. After two first-round defeats, the club reached the second round in 1996 after defeating SE Palmeiras , but then retired from Colombia against Independiente Santa Fe .

After Bragantino was spared relegation in 1996 as bottom of the table due to an increase in the league, such luck remained in 1998. The team was relegated as the penultimate. Bragantino even dropped into the third class Série C in 2003 . It was not until 2007 that they returned to Série B, the second top division in Brazil, where Bragantino was able to hold out until 2016. After two years in third class, he was promoted back to Série B, where the club immediately managed to march through to Série A in 2019.

Since 2019: Red Bull Bragantino

In March 2019, the club merged with - or been taken over by (as you always interpreted) - Brazilian football department of the Austrian performance spray maker Red Bull , which at 50 kilometers west nearby Campinas -based Red Bull Brasil , whose team was taken over to a large extent . The RB Campinas training center in Jarinú was taken over, the team from Campinas, so to speak, the second team of Bragantinos. President Marquinho Chedid remains in office, but as such has little more to say.

In April 2019, on the first match day of Série B, Bragantino competed for the first time in Red Bull-typical red pants and white shirts. More important, however, was a substantial start-up financing of 45 million real , around 10 million euros, which enabled Bragantino to become champions in the first season after returning to Série B and thus again to be first class.

From 2020 the club was officially renamed Red Bull Bragantino and the coat of arms of the Red Bulls corporate ID was adapted accordingly.

Stadion

Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid (2009)

Bragantino plays its home games at the club's own Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid . The stadium, which opened in 1949 as the Estádio Marcelo Stéfani , has a capacity of around 17,200 spectators. It was originally named after a former player and president of the club (1914–85, term of office 1938–43). In 2009 it was renamed by President Marco Antônio Nassif Abi "Marquinho" Chedid (in office since 1998) in the name of his father, who was President from 1959 to 1977.

In the opening game, Bragantino defeated Mogina from Campinas 2-1 - Bragantinos Sacadeira scored the first goal.

The attendance record of 19,900 dates back to August 26, 1990, when Bragantino and Novorizontino parted 1-1 in the first leg of the 1990 national championship.

A negative record was set in the stadium on June 9, 1991, when the championship final second leg against São Paulo FC only attracted 12,492 spectators - the lowest crowd in the history of the championship finals. The game ended 0-0.
